Courtney Lawes has been slammed on Twitter numerous times with the England captain having to delete tweets on more than one occasion.

One of times he caused outcry was when he suggested the struggle to feed children highlighted by Marcus Rashford could be solved by people ‘being financially secure and preferably married before having kids.’

He later deleted the tweet.
